I got restricted views in stalls for both Streetcar and Tammy Faye (I never find the restriction at the Almeida all that bad.) Was 500 something when booking opened and about a half hour wait to be able to book but pretty good availability once I arrived. Some of the restricted view in the Almeida aren’t actually that bad! |

Yes, I've never had a resticted view there that I thought was a big problem. |

I'm hoping for a decent Streetcar...it's probably my all-time favourite play. Do you expect every production of Streetcar to be exactly like the first, or do you accept that different directors will reinterpret the play in different ways? The latter. I expect productions to be exactly like the original when the producers repeatedly claim that this is what is going to happen and state as much in their advertising (and put a note in the programme calling the production "identical"). Which is not what is happening here. |

3600+ in the queue. My partner got a pretty high number, 690 for me but it reckons more than an hour in the queue.
Do wonder if Almeida might have been better separating the on sale times for this and Tammy Faye.
Not optimistic for my usual cheap seats....

I was 760 but I got to the end of the queue in 30 minutes. Plenty of choices still so keep your faith!

I take back everything I just said. 690 - through and booked by 12.35 including my usual choice 'restricted' seats. Seems to be a lot of availability early in the run and in particular on Thursday matinees should that suit anyone.

I was 2400th, got in around 1.15 but easily got the tickets I wanted - there seemed to be plenty of availability.

Life goes on and theatre is about productions not just plays but the Gillian Anderson Blanche will take some beating. One of the finest performances by an actress I have ever seen on stage.

First preview cancelled. Absolutely raging as I’d constructed a whole weekend around it, I did think to myself as we all should about booking an early preview, but reassured myself that it’s a play, not a new play, and helmed by experienced people on home turf. Nope.
Praying they can find me some house seats or something at some other point in the run but my optimism is low.

Keep a regular eye on their Twitter especially once the run starts and I'd be a little surprised if there are not a good number of seats that pop-up. |

Tickets come up regularly- keep checking. Also if you are a student under 25 £5 tickets go on sale on Thursday or there is an Almeida for free in January. |

Ahhh just got out of my meeting to find all the tickets are gone - will have to hope for returns the online queue really was insane btw.. 2000 people waiting to buy - was 200th in the queue here and somehow got 2 seats together , although partially restricted view .. still better than nothing. Hopefully there’s more availability soon, keep checking |

Has anyone been to a relaxed environment performance at the Almeida before? There was only one showing left with tickets available so I snapped them up but now I see it's a relaxed environment performance. It says in the email this allows for 'noise and movement in the auditorium' - I don't mind some background noise but I'm just worried it might be too distracting. I realise it's my own fault for not checking before I bought and it's good they do these kinds of showings, but I want to know what I'm in for!

I wonder if it might see a transfer given how well it's sold. There's a gap between Mother Goose closing and The Pillowman opening at the Duke of York's so could fit in there for a short run. The Phoenix is another option.
